The World's Most Beautiful Shops by Paula Flynn
A travel-lover's guide to the world's most enchanting brick-and-mortar stores, from the founder of online sensation The Shopkeepers. We are so proud and excited to see our Hawthorn East store featured in this beautiful book.
Paula Flynn is a seasoned fashion and textile designer whose personal journey through well-curated boutiques and emporiums across the globe led her to create The Shopkeepers, a beloved Instagram account and website celebrating the world's most exceptional retail experiences.
In The World's Most Beautiful Shops she introduces readers to an eclectic and charming assortment of over 100 of these retailers, from an outdoor bookshop in Ojai to a weaver's atelier in Madrid, a coffee shop in Kyoto to a farm-to-table skincare brand in Marrakech. Though their chosen wares and aesthetic sensibilities vary, they all boast stunning storefronts, fantastic displays, beautiful products, and knowledgeable shopkeepers.
In brief profiles and gorgeous photographs Flynn captures the magic of brick-and-mortar retail—to transport us to other worlds, to honour regional crafts and heritage artisans, and to get us to slow down and appreciate the thrill of discovery.

Before You Order
Please check the garment measurements listed in each product description before placing your order. These measurements are of the garment itself, not body measurements.
If you're unsure about sizing, we're happy to help. Please email us at info@scarletjones.com.au. We recommend measuring a similar garment you already own and comparing it with the measurements provided.
While we do our best to accurately represent colours, they may vary slightly depending on your screen or device.

We ship internationally with DHL Express, except to New Zealand, where orders are shipped via Australia Post.
